The University of Mount Union

The campus is very small and there's nothing to do but get drunk on weekends. Many students belong to frat/sororities and they're totally stuck-up. The major entertainment (besides getting drunk or watching old movies at the 2-movie cinema) was a trip to the 5-mile away WalMart Wanna-Be store, the only one in the entire town. On the way there, the "townies" constantly screamed at us college people and flicked us. There was this ONE lousy bar where everyone went to get drunk, woo hoo.

My biggest disappointment was my faculty counselor. He practically ruined my life. During my first year, my GPA was a C because I was working on my English skills. By my junior year, my GPA was consistently 3.8 and I always made the Dean's List. Besides, I am excellent at test-taking and, being a minority, added with all these other assets, I could have had a real shot at medical school, which was my dream. He never advised me to pursue it; on the contrary, he told me right off the bat to forget about it. I applied to graduate school and was accepted (and finished) but he was a lousy counselor for not encouraging me to pursue my dream. Years later I realized I had a real shot at medical school, but by the time I already was married and had a baby. Thank You, Dr. Epp. YOU SUCK.

In reality I have great memories of my college years - the freedom, the college experience, great (international) people I met, but that's only cause I'm a positive person and I make my own experiences - not because the people there even tried. If you live in Ohio and are a hick, stay there and you'll be happy - but if you have an inch of open-mindedness, get out of that hick town and go to a diverse university.
